Cereal

The girls are learning how to eat with utensils. First we tried spoons with oatmeal. At first they seemed a bit confused about what to do, but once they got the hang of it, they seemed quite pleased that they could do it themselves.

Picture captions: Now, what do you want me to do with this? I will distract you with my cute smile while I discreetly drop the spoon off of my tray. Lost my spoon... now what?? Two spoons are better than one. This is fun! (First three pics are of L, last two of A.)

Cute Twin Moment

Considering that they are identical twins and how much time they spend together, the girls do not seem to acknowledge each other all that much. Occasionally they seem to crack each other up. But by now I thought they might have some sort of secret language and be completely inseparable. Most of the time it is as if they just co-exist in the same space and most of their play time involves them playing separately with different toys. However, now and then, you catch a moment like this that is such a neat part of having twins...

Who Needs a Hoover...

... when you have a dog to clean up after messy 17-month-old twins??

The dog is getting fat, but at least my kitchen floor doesn't need to be cleaned three times a day.

They DO drop food off of their trays on purpose -- what toddler doesn't, right? -- but so far it is not with the intention of feeding the dog. If they start that, the dog will seriously need to go on a diet!
